Realism versus Right of Publicity in Video Game Design Jamie M. Litty Realistic elements in video game design can inspire an appropriation claim, trademark dispute, or similar lawsuits, even when the underlying immaterial property from the real world was licensed. Video games can be First Amendment-protected expression, however, as in other media, there’s tension between the speech rights of creators and the personal rights of subjects. Furthermore, there’s disagreement from one jurisdiction to another regarding how much mimicry loses protection and how many dissimilarities are transfor- mative enough to be lawful. Analysis of case law reveals a balancing act between protecting video games as expressive works and protecting indivi- duals’ right of publicity.

  • Bangor Garth Pier: 125 Year Anniversary Digital Programme
    Bangor Garth Pier: 125th year anniversary Digital Programme 1 Foreword “I think it is fair to say that our pier is the jewel in the crown of our great city, affording all who venture upon it some of the finest views imaginable. It has stood as an asset to our city for over 125 years, and it has served the people of this city throughout this time. The pier has faced numerous challenges throughout its journey and perhaps none more-so than the recent structural repairs that have seen an incredible investment of over £1m to ensure the survival of this structure for the next 125 years. With this structural work finished, attention is being turned to further enhancing the aesthetic of its already gorgeous Victorian fittings and to expand its capabilities as an event venue and as a renowned destination both far and wide. I wish we could have marked this historic day with a grand parade in the spirits of that which opened the pier 125 years prior, yet it is a sign of the times that we are unable to do so. Though I will use this space to extend a thank you for all those who have enjoyed the pier over its history and for all those who have looked after it. We can’t turn out as a city today to celebrate its momentous anniversary, but we can, and we will, celebrate the pier in our own way moving forward, be that crabbing off of the end with the family, purchasing an Ice Cream here on a first date, having a warming coffee as you watch the ebb and flow of the tide or simply as you stop to take in the views of Snowdonia from this glorious structure.

We couldn't have written this report if a number of politicians, activists and commentators in Wales had not kindly agreed to share their time and thoughts with us – our thanks to them all. At the Electoral Reform Society, Ashley Dé, Gertrud Malmersjo, Rebecca Williams and Havard Hughes all provided helpful and wel- come advice. Hywel would especially like to thank Lewis and Ken for their encouragement and guidance.

It is due for second reading on 18 March 2005 The Bill seeks to give the National Assembly for Wales powers to make regulations, which would allow it to prohibit or restrict the smoking of tobacco products in public places in Wales.
